Twisted Oaks Golf Club has officially broken ground on the new course and clubhouse.
Twisted Oaks is the former Top O’ The Lake Golf Course in rural Bowie.
“There was no official ceremony,” PGA Professional Ron Moxom said. “We just went to work.”
The new clubhouse will be completed by Easter weekend in 2015, Moxom reported.
Amenities will include a fully stocked golf shop, dining area, pavilion and porch.
There will be a regular schedule for food and a beverage service also will be offered for special events.
Work on the clubhouse began on Oct. 30 and the course itself on Monday. The course itself will be finished by summer of 2015. Read more in the weekend Bowie News.

This tournament is open to all two-person teams. All teams play nine holes of gross best ball, and the low six teams will make the shoot-out.

Bowie, playing on a short rest, held with host Jacksboro for most of the volleyball match Oct. 1, but the Tigerettes pulled away late and defeated the Lady Rabbits 3-1 (26-24, 12-25, 25-14, 22-25).

The match was scheduled for Oct. 2 but was moved. Both teams are now 2-2 in District 6-3A.

Jacksboro got out to a quick lead in game one before Olivia Stewart’s kill and a three-point Olivia Richey serving run put the visitors up 8-7. Junior Abby Reneau broke things open with a six-point string to give Bowie a 15-8 cushion and force Jacksboro into a timeout.

The Tigerettes came back and took an 18-16 lead. KP Rutherford’s kill broke the serve and allowed Molly Enlow to tie the game at 18.

Gold-Burg gives it a go, falls to Perrin 35-32

Gold-Burg Football Coach Austin Norman called his Bears’ 35-32 loss to host Perrin a “barn burner”.

It most definitely was as Gold-Burg, now 1-5 for the year gave the 5-1 Pirates everything they wanted for four quarters. Gold-Burg scored on the last play of the first half on a Peyton Epperson run with the two point conversion cutting the deficit to 20-16.

The Bears were their own worst enemy to open the third quarter with face mask and offside penalties moving the Pirates downfield setting up a first-and-goal at the Bear three. Defense by Epperson, Keelyn Case and Barrett Allen and a pair of Perrin penalties helped stop the drive and force a turnover on downs.

Gold-Burg was slapped with an intentional grounding penalty on the first play, giving Perrin a safety and extending the Pirate lead to 22-16. Defense by Epperson and JoJuan Grace after a first down run closed out the third quarter.
